Absence of Superconductivity in the "hole-doped" Fe pnictide Ba(Fe${}_{1-x}$Mn${}_x$)${}_2$As${}_2$: Photoemission and X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Studies

H. Suzuki, T. Yoshida, S. Ideta +12

We have studied the electronic structure of Ba(Fe${}_{1-x}$Mn${}_x$)${}_2$As${}_2$ ($x$=0.08), which fails to become a superconductor in spite of the formal hole doping like Ba$_{1-x…
